| Nov 15, 2010 at 21:14 | comment | added | VirtuosiMedia | @atdre - Almost every analytics program will record the referrer. Many systems record IP and user-agent to help deal with spammers. I would also love to see where this violates privacy laws. | |
| Nov 15, 2010 at 16:52 | comment | added | anonymous | @atdre, how this could violate privacy acts? IP, User-agent and referer were made with purpose to distinguish software, machines and so on. Those who needs anonymity take appropriate measures. Could you point at where what you have written is clearly stated? | |
